2019 Nissan LEAF e+
The Nissan LEAF dominated sales in Europe as the most popular electric vehicle (40,000 sold as of December 2018). Now, it has earned the loyalty of Norwegian drivers, with the title of best-selling car (not just EV) in Norway and a total of 12,303 sold.
“The fact that the Nissan LEAF is still the default choice for EV buyers in Europe is a testament to its all-round capability as the icon of Nissan Intelligent Mobility — especially with the ever-growing range of competitors,” said Ken Ramirez, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Nissan Europe. “We can celebrate standout sales success with Norway as an example, as it highlights how the Nissan electric ecosystem has established itself as a sustainable lifestyle choice in a relatively short space of time. With the range now stronger than ever, we look forward to welcoming more customers to EV ownership in the coming months.”
To help propel the LEAF’s popularity with European drivers, Nissan will release two new models (LEAF 3.ZERO and LEAF e+ 3.ZERO Limited Edition) this year, offering drivers more options to adopt an eco-friendly driving lifestyle. Although dealerships won’t have the new models until summer, drivers in Europe can order them now.
The Nissan LEAF 3.ZERO will boast new connectivity technologies, a 40kWh battery and more design choices. The Nissan LEAF e+ 3.ZERO Limited Edition will feature a 62 kWh battery to deliver a driving range of 239 miles.
